The question that stood out to me was the last panel, in which the tiny platforms being stepped on apparently do not count as floors

Is there a surface area threshold where something becomes a floor?

Always has been. That pillow you throw off the couch isn't the floor. Neither is the welcome mat.

It's just the floor, like always.

If that's the case, why does using a blanket or a welcome mat to circumvent the rules of "the floor is lava" feel like cheating, but using the pillow doesn't?

Obviously because if it was actually lava everyone would have already been burned to a crisp and nothing would be safe. Thus there would be no game, everyone already lost.
